Unable to Scan wifi Network with Reaver

I'm trying to crack the WPS code using Reaver! So far I can only get to the step where it is supposed to scan the networks... What am I missing?

here is what I accomplished already: root@xlr8nsys:~/Desktop# iwconfig

eth0 no wireless extensions.

mon0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.412 GHz Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off

lo no wireless extensions.

root@xlr8nsys:~/Desktop# airmon-ng start wlan0

Found 2 processes that could cause trouble. If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

PID Name 14493 avahi-daemon 14494 avahi-daemon

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Atheros ath9k - [phy0] (monitor mode enabled on mon0)

root@xlr8nsys:~/Desktop# ifconfig mon0 down

root@xlr8nsys:~/Desktop# macchanger -a mon0

root@xlr8nsys:~/Desktop# ifconfig mon0 up

root@xlr8nsys:~/Desktop# wash -i mon0

BSSID Channel RSSI WPS Version WPS Locked ESSID

If I check the available networks from the interface directly, then I get this...

root@xlr8nsys:~/Desktop# iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID

ESSID:"PC WOW, Corp." ESSID:"WOW Inn" ESSID:"WOW Support" ESSID:"WOW Media" ESSID:"2WIRE554"
